Secret Village
Although it’s just 25 minutes from Ensenada, Las Brisas del Valle, set amid sandy boulders and Cabernet vines, beckons like an unexpected Tuscan estate. Chef V. Omar Garcia serves estate-made olive oil and local añejo cheese. Guests spend their days lounging on screened four-poster beds around the pool. Ask for the Lulu room, which has views of the Sierra Blanca and lavender-carpeted olive groves. Don’t miss taking a horseback ride among the desolate vineyards and countryside.
